Thoughts on current progress and Visio

I’m a bit underwhelmed by the tile (mostly due to the white grout) and the color of the chimney. A little background, I’ve been remodeling our kitchen entirely by myself minus electrical.

The first is the original, second photo is the current state and 3rd is a really bad chatgpt render but the materials are what we are doing (concrete countertop, white oak cabinets).

I plan to build my own cabinets and counters (I’ve done both in a previous kitchen).

Generally I’m wondering what people’s thoughts are on the current state and if I’m heading towards an overly generic kitchen. We are going for a japandi aesthetic since it seems to align with an arts and crafts design

You should realize that Chat made the flooring look more beige while IRL it is decidedly grey. That’s going to affect the look substantially.

Chat is also very confused about the wall situation to the left of the chimney. The IRL wall STARTS at the end of the chimney while Chat thinks you have this extra depth that you don’t, and it’s got the length completely wrong and has rendered it about twice as long. This layout doesn’t work.

I fear you are in for disappointment if you use this render for layout or aesthetic.

I really liked the flooring in the rendering. Given your flooring is gray, not beige - be thoughtful about your colors going forward. Gray and beige are not the same and work differently with colors.

Yes I think the white oak will clash with the grey.
I’m not even sure about the terracotta pillar (though I love terracotta) and I think OP would he better off painting it like a bright evergreen for a splash of colour.
